As I recall, after the success of the Inchon landing, MacArthur took the offensive all the way to the Chinese border at the Yalu River and was speaking of continuing into China and even using nuclear weapons... This precipitated the entry, in massive numbers, of the Chinese into the conflict, driving US and UN forces all the way back to Seoul and extending the war by several very bloody years... I think we studied this with Mr. Bramble (C '64).
